The Penitent Invader: call sheet no. 35
Wednesday, 9 August 1972 07:30 amThis call sheet was kindly donated to this archive by Barbara Hatherall, who was an extra on the series. The episode concerned is “The Penitent Invader.”
“The Penitent Invader” was episode ‘G’ - the seventh episode to be filmed.
The call sheet is No.35, and is dated 9 August 1972, which was a Wednesday, so this would have been the third day of filming.
Filming took place at Woollard.
Jack Watson and Fred Wedlock had their own transport, and Clive Revill was collected from the Unicorn Hotel 1 at 07:00. Along with Roy Carne, they were required in make-up at 7:30 for an 8:30 start.
Firstly, Jack Watson (Llud), Clive Revill (Rolf), and Roy Carne (Blacksmith) were scheduled to film scenes 35, 36, 36a, 37 and 38 - which had evidently not been completed the day before, when first listed. This is where Rolf walks on hot coals, and Llud is called away by a Messenger, then Rolf sets out to raid a fictional caravan carrying tribute to Arthur.
Also required in make-up at 7:30 for an 8:30 start were folk singer Fred Wedlock (Rolf’s Minstrel), Peter Derbyshire (Herward’s Messenger), Sean McCauley and Ben Ford (Llud’s companions), along with 24 extras (12 Celtic men, 8 Celtic women and 4 Celtic children).
The scenes involving these actors were 9, 9a, 30, 12, 32 and 32a. Given that a large roast boar is listed among the props, these must have been the banquet scenes, featuring Fred Wedlock, playing a dulcimer covered in animal skins. The scenes in Rolf’s bedroom were also on the schedule, as the blacksmith, and Herward’s messenger, who appear in those scenes, are required for the shoot, as well as beds, a candle, and Rolf’s spiked hide shirt.
Horses were required for Llud, Rolf, and Llud’s messenger, for the completion of other scenes from the previous day.
Breakfast, lunch and afternoon break for the cast and crew – about 75 to 80 people - was laid on, by George Cook (or Cooke) on location.
1 Possibly The Unicorn Hotel, West Street, Somerton TA11 7PR England – this would have been about an hour away by car.
